E306. How October 7th Exposed the West's Madness

Author Brendan O’Neill joins Bridget to talk about his book, After The Pogrom: 7 October, Israel and The Crisis of Civilization. They discuss the aftermath of Hamas's attack on October 7th, 2023, what it told us about the West, the lure of barbarism, the rise of antisemitism, why we shouldn’t be allowed to forget what happened on October 7th, and why his book should make you angry because it highlights the appalling truth that people in the West are cheering one of the most regressive and racist movements on Earth - Hamas. They cover the ideological indoctrination of our youth, the resurgence of ancient antisemitic tropes, the failures of modern feminism, the West's inability to confront global threats, moral cowardice, the madness of the elites, racism masquerading as anti-racism, and the importance of mockery in challenging dominant ideologies.Sponsor Links:- Check out Caliber the strength training & nutrition coaching program that's completely personalized to you.
